Texas did it in secret, away from public view and from the orders of the thug rapist in the Oval.
Fair maps for all, until we have a Congress that represents all of us.

In a democracy, power doesnโt rest in marble hallsโit lives in our voices, our votes, our unity. When the people rise, no leader, lobby, or lie can stand in the way. The power is oursโalways has been, always will be.

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.

Hold tight to your demands for better access to health care, Democrats. You are America's only hope.
An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. Itโs a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Donโt be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.
